It's an opinion piece. It's not an article.

I don't think you're devoid of critical thought. But based on your words, you don't seem to recognize the distinction between an opinion piece appearing in the Globe by the CEO of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board and the opinion of the Globe.

I am also incapable of recognizing the timing of this piece. Well, thanks for the insults.

Out of curiosity, what is it you do?

Timing: There will be a public hearing about Wu's proposal in two days. I imagine that the Greater Boston Real Estate Board wanted to make its opinion known before that hearing. Hence the timing.
